July 2012

The weather is so much better now! I ran a wonderful run, 40 minutes.

So it's at least 15 degrees cooler than Saturday and that resulted in a 9 minute improvement in time.

I was also a little worried that I had pushed my left leg a little too much during Saturday's run, but today it felt okay. Not great but okay.

Run was awesome. I felt some much stronger in this temperature! I ran when Sasha came home from work.

Wow! It's so hot!

Yesterday evening I gave up after 1 mile when it was 93 degrees so today I tried again... at 97 degrees. It took my 8 minutes longer than my usual slowest run but I did complete the 4 miles.

I brought water and took several long breaks to cool off. The run shouldn't have been much longer otherwise I'd have to walk, and I'm proud that I completed it.

On my way home I saw a little girl who was running from the fountain straight to the traffic lanes on Wilson. The mother couldn't grab her on time so I stuck out my arm and stopped the child.

I gave up at Virginia Square, after 1.1 miles. It was just too hot (over 100 degrees), it was a Friday afternoon and I was tired. Let's try again today.

Glad I brought a bottle of water.

I didn't finish my run again! It is just too hot! Okay... I am a little out of shape. But expect for the earlier end, the run went pretty well and I felt stronger than during my previous runs.

In the first few hundred yards I felt my knees, a residue from the early morning run on Monday.
